Jaconé Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Jaconé.

The first few days are clean and fun, nothing too crazy, but it’s a solid start. Friday morning (10th July) you’ll find clean 3 ft waves out of the SE with a light offshore breeze. The water’s sitting at 73°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there. The energy is moderate (472), and it’s a consistent setup. It’s a nice little warm-up.

Saturday morning (11th July) is shaping up to be the real standout early on. Glassy conditions, 4 ft SE swell, and the combined energy nudges up to 514. That’s clean, that’s smooth, and it’s got a good feel to it. This is the one to aim for if you’re paddling out early.

Sunday (12th July) turns a bit lumpy. The wind swings cross-on and onshore, and the quality drops. Best to give it a miss.

Monday (13th July) and Tuesday (14th July) see a big jump in size – up to 8 ft and 7 ft respectively – but the wind is onshore or cross-on, and the wave comments are marginal. The energy is strong (1269 and 1478), but the conditions aren’t doing it justice. For experienced surfers only, and even then, it’s not pretty.

Wednesday morning (15th July) is a serious highlight. 7 ft of SSE swell with a clean offshore wind from the NE. The energy is strong (1045), and the report says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. This is the best of the first week, no question. The afternoon gets a bit windy again, so make the morning session count.

Thursday (16th July) and Friday (17th July) stay clean in the mornings with offshore winds, dropping back to 5 ft and 4 ft. Consistent, clean, and easy to get into. Solid days.

The second week settles into a more relaxed pattern. Saturday (18th July) morning has 6 ft from the ENE, but the period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weak and bumpy. Still, with a light offshore, it’s rideable. The energy is moderate (545).

Sunday (19th) and Monday (20th) are similar – small, short period, clean mornings, but nothing to write home about. Tuesday (21st) morning picks up a bit to 5 ft with a slightly longer period (8s) and a clean offshore. That’s the pick of the second week.

Wednesday (22nd) and Thursday (23rd) are small and ordinary, though Thursday morning (23rd July) is glassy with 3 ft, and the energy is low (233). It’s surfable, but just.

Friday (24th July) into Saturday (25th July) sees a new pulse of SSW swell, around 5 ft to 6 ft, with a long period of 12-13 seconds, and the energy jumps back up (1107-1464). But the wind is cross-on or onshore, so it’s messy. The long period means it’ll be better suited to a point or reef, but here at Jaconé it’ll just be a lumpy, hard-to-read wave. Not the best.

Overall, the standout is Saturday morning (11th July) and Wednesday morning (15th July). The first is glassy and fun for everyone, the second is for the experienced crew looking for some power. The second week is quieter, with Tuesday morning (21st July) being the most reliable.
